The winners will be announced on the “UK in Viet Nam” Facebook page on 5 November to mark the Youth & Public Empowerment Day, COP26.
According to a UNICEF report (August 2021), children and young people living in Vietnam are among those most at risk of suffering the impacts of climate change, threatening their health, education, and protection.
With innovative ideas and boundless energy, Vietnamese youth are indeed critical for the advancement of a better future. They are young ambassadors who can spread positive influence to their families, schools, and communities, through simple daily climate actions, according to the contest organizers.
The drawing contest is also an event to welcome the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), to be hosted by the UK, in partnership with Italy, in Glasgow.
This climate change conference is among the largest international meetings in the world, involves officials from every country, representatives from civil society, the public, and the global news media.Other News
